i could do without the meat, maybe, probably. But no fish, like salmon, would be worse. and anchovies on my pizza? Oh wait, no cheese? Never met a soy cheese I liked. I’d like to change my answer to Heck No.
My better half dabbled in veganism and couldn’t do it, and she loves all the animals. I understand the dairy industry, like all mass-farmed animals, is terrible for the animals, but I can have a cognitive dissonance that if it was ethically sourced that it isn’t really hurting the animal (I know this is ostrich in the sand naivety) I can enjoy dairy.
Yet when the staunch ones say you can’t eat honey… man, you have some lunatics on your hand. Don’t eat that tomato unless you are going to pass it in a field so the seeds can propagate like nature intended. Using a toilet after eating a fruit is practically genocide. (Sarcasm but I bet a non-zero number of people think this.)
@KNmeh7 I wonder what the “ethics”-driven vegans will do as we learn more about how fungi and plants have their own versions of nervous systems and can communicate with each other.
My wife and I tried a (mostly) vegan diet for a few months, mainly as a result of a book named "Fiber Fueled by Will Bulsiewicz, MD, which is really a good read (and has some good recipes as well). But the huge increase in effort eventually moved us back to our omnivorous eating.
“Heck no” is far to weak a statement or choice
@rjquillin That’s where I’d land for vegetarian. Vegan is several more levels of “no”.

I sometimes wish I could as I love animals and cows are beautiful and kind souls, but I unfortunately love beef, pork, chicken, and fish.
@danandlisa and milk and cheese and eggs and leather and fish oil and … I could live without feather products though.

A laughable question IMHO
